Morning, 8 o'clock.
I gave Nimi a kiss and said I was heading out, then left [Suzuya] and walked toward the academy.
Nimi, who I had put through quite a lot the previous night, showed no signs of fatigue. Instead, her skin was glowing with a healthy, radiant sheen.
Today, Erika had left earlier to visit Marika-san and organize yesterday's discussion. Felica had also headed to the academy early because she had documents she wanted to compile. I knew about Felica's situation because no matter how busy she was, she always stopped by [Suzuya] in the morning. When I told her she didn't have to push herself, she replied, "There's no way I'd force myself just to see my lover." That was why both Erika and Felica made sure to see me every morning.
For that reason, I was heading to the academy alone today.
